I own a 2003 w203k sedan and currently lowered to the max on H % R coilovers
i recently purchased work varianza d3s rims...fronts are 19x8.5 +35 (225/35/19) and rears 19x9.5 +35 (235/35/19) and was told to order 20mm hubcentric spacers to clear the coilovers...is this true or will i need a bigger/smaller spacer...i am going for that vip flushed look and will rolll fenders if have to..thanks...

shoots thanks man...i test fitted a 19x8.0 with the same offset and it barely cleared and may have rubbed when we tried on a 10mm...so were gonna try a 20 mm all around n just roll the fenders more if needed..i noticed that my stock rims were already rubbing the c/o..so i was a bit concerned with the works..ill keep u guys updated
btw..nice benz bro..whered u get the yakima roof rack?

no some other guys spacers... good quality though, haven't had a problem with them so far. If you going to do +20 in the rear you'll be needing to do more than fender rolling, be prepared to do some pulling. I pulled my rears quite a bit and the +20 still hit fender. It might work if you get really stretched tires in the rear like 225/35

i got 225/35 for the fronts and 235/35 for the rears...i was looking at the prices on allsprings.com and dayum theres a big difference in price for the 15mm and 20mm....if anything..i just might get the 15mm and pray that its the right fit..from most of the guys on the forums..

Strongly suggest you don't stretch tyres. It's dangerous as it operates the tyre sidewall way out of the design parameters.

Just make sure you buy longer bolts to accommidate the spacers. RADUSA will probably have them.

Btw..do u know what size bolts I need to fit the rims with the spacers?? I heard if I get too long of a bolt for the rears it may damage my brake assembly..n F**k that!! I don't wanna buy the wrong size bolt n mess up my brakes...

I'm looking at these wheels and was wondering if MBW has a sponsor that sells them, or if there are other brands with similar looks for about the same price ($1000/set).
I'm looking for 19" staggered 8.5/9.5, already have tires.

Offsets should work, but 19's up front are a very tight fit and will diminish the ride quality. You could also experience fender rubbing depending on your tire size.

Depending on what brake calipers you have up front, the fronts will or will not clear. You don't specify in your sig if you are a sport equiped car or not. Sports have bigger front calipers. You may clear with a 32ET depending on rim design/backspacing.
The rears will be a bit tight inward as well. 35mm would be better.
Check out the "stickies" on the front page. There's a million page thread on wheels/offsets.
Good Luck on your wheel search
